Circle R Motel

Life and times at a 1950s "mom and pop" motel in Salida, Colorado. Salida is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise. In the summer there is white water rafting, ATVing, mountain biking, hot springs, and hiking. Add shopping to that list of things do to in our darling historic district. Fall offers the changing colors of the trees and big game hunting. Winter there is skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing. Spring and Fall there is great fly fishing.

Chaffee shuttle and Salida Hot Springs Pool tour

Went on a tour of the aquatics center and hot springs pool. There is a lap pool which is kept in the upper 80 degrees and a leisure pool kept in the upper 90 degrees. The photo of the outside of the center here shows the free Chaffee shuttle which is available M-Sat until 5pm for anyone who needs a ride around town.

These are the soaking pools at the aquatics center. You can rent them for an hour. The water is from the hot springs in Poncha Springs and is 104 degrees.
